History Fridge / Kirby

* Several games where King Dedede, a penguin, was a major boss has him fought in cold environments. We have [[VideoGame/KirbysAdventure Rainbow Resort]], [[VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3 Iceberg]], and some parts of [[VideoGame/KirbyMassAttack]], to name a few.

* In ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'', [[spoiler:you might wonder what [[VideoGame/KirbyandtheAmazingMirror the Amazing Mirror]] is doing in the final boss's room. It occurred to me later that Kirby and Meta Knight had to fly up into the sky to get to the mirror, which certainly put the mirror into Sectonia's domain and reach, and because Queen Sectonia is so vain, she has probably been using it as a personal looking glass. The mirror may not be why she's so evil, but it could be one explanation for how she became so monstrously vain.]]

*I was wonder why Miracle Matter can only be hurt by its current element then I realized you hurt it with it's own attacks because it's shield that block all your normal attacks in permeable to what ever element it uses to attack you with. When in fire form its shields can be passed by fire so it can hit you with fire, but you send the fire right back it through the shield. The shield still block elements just not the one needed to attack with.

* ''Kirby's Adventure'' involves a Nightmare trying to come through the fountain of dreams to hurt the denizens of dream land. King Dedede removes and destroys the fountain's power source, which keeps the Nightmare on the other side but prevents anyone in Dream Land from dreaming. Kirby fixes the star rod, defeats the Nightmare and restores the ability to dream, so all is good, right? Well, in ''Kirby Super Star'' it is shown that there are several planets like Pop Star with similar fountains. Another Nightmare could easily come through any of them and neither Kirby nor Dedede can be expected to police them all. Furthermore, the backlash from one Nightmare's defeat [[DefaceOfTheMoon was strong enough to nearly destroy Pop Star's moon]]. At any point, another Nightmare could creep out of any number of places in the cosmos and cause a disaster.

Another Nightmare could easily come through any of them and neither Kirby nor Dedede can be expected to police alone can't defend them all. Furthermore, the backlash from one Nightmare's defeat [[DefaceOfTheMoon was strong enough to nearly destroy blow up 1/4th of Pop Star's moon]]. At any point, another Nightmare could creep out of any number of places in the cosmos and cause a disaster.

* Has anyone noticed how Kirby's power has been changing a little bit with each game? In the very first game, he didn't have any copy abilities, while he suddenly has a dozen or so in the next one. For the next few games, each ability is only able to do one thing, which is why he has similar ones like Fire/Burning, Ice/Freeze, Spark/Plasma and so on. Yet, as the games progressed, the redundant abilities are merged and then are further expanded. Then there's other abilities that have been changing overtime too; like Backdrop becoming Suplex, both of which are obtained from Bugzzy, then going on into Beetle. And then there's abilities affected by his environment like Water becoming Poison. On top of all that, Kirby seems to be learning how to copy complex abilities like Doctor and ESP. A sign of Kirby's growth, indeed!

** The second is Level 5, Shiver Star. It looks more like a real planet than the other 6 planets and upon further examination, one can see that it has the outline of Earth's continents visible on it's surface. Suggesting that it's a [[EarthThatWas post-apocalyptic Earth]]. The entire planet is [[EndlessWinter frozen over]] and at one point Kirby explores an [[NightmarishFactory underground factory]] filled with monsters [[PeopleJars floating]] in glass tanks.

''In a kid's game.''

* In ''Kirby 64'', the TrueFinalBoss, oddly, has a band aid on his head which you have to hit to expose his weak point. [[spoiler:It's the reincarnation of Zero from the previous game, so you'd first think that it's a simple call back... then you remember the whole thing where his iris ripped out of the main body...]]

* ''Kirby's Adventure'' involves a Nightmare trying to come through the fountain of dreams to hurt the denizens of dream land, [[GenericDoomsdayVillain for some reason]]. King Dedede removes and destroys the fountain's power source, which keeps the nightmare on the other side but prevents anyone in Dream Land from dreaming. Kirby fixes the star rod, defeats the nightmare and restores the ability to dream (In case you did not know already) so all is good? Well, in ''Kirby Super Star'' it is shown that there are several planets like Pop Star with similar fountains. Another Nightmare could easily come through any of them and neither Kirby nor Dedede can be expected to police them all. Furthermore, the backlash from one Nightmare's defeat [[DefaceOfTheMoon was strong enough to nearly destroy Pop Star's moon]]. At any point, any given bad dream could creep out of any number of places in the cosmos and cause a disaster.* In ''Kirby's Dreamland 2'', Dark Matter comes to Pop Star and makes mischief in Dream Land. Kirby gets a special weapon and defeats it, problem solved? ''Kirby's Dreamland 3'' sees Dark Matter come back and engulf the entire planet of Pop Star. Kirby manages to defeat it with another special weapon, though, and even destroys its supposed controller, Zero. Yet in ''Kirby 64'', Dark Matter successfully conquers another planet and would have been in position to take over many more had Kirby not gotten involved by coincidence. Turns out the controller, Zero, had somehow revived, but Kirby finding another weapon to put back down solved everything, right? No, Dark Matter engulfing two planets as well as [[ThatsNoMoon forming another one out of its own mass]] is just a drop in the bucket. At the time of this typing, roughly 80% of the matter in the ''universe'' is estimated to be Dark Matter, and with the exception of [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch Gooey]], the entire bulk of it seems to be hostile or commanded by a hostile intelligence which has come back from the dead once already in the Kirby series. The worst is yet to come, assuming Dark Matter is not already causing misery far beyond Kirby's area of operation. The fact that Dark Nebula from ''Squeak Squad'' was later revealed to be part of Dark Matter shows this plot point has not been forgotten either.* In ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards,'' there are two planets out of the six [[spoiler:or seven depending on whether or not you gathered all the titular PlotCoupons]] that strike many as peculiar.** The first is Level 2, Rock Star, which is nothing more than huddled masses of rock, only kept together by the planet's overall gravity. Looking at its Japanese name, "Horobita Star," or "Perished Star," will give some implications that the [[EarthShatteringKaboom planet was destroyed by something]]. Then Kirby finds a spaceship that was embedded within Rock Star....** The second is Level 5, Shiver Star. Upon further examination, one can see that it not only looks more like a planet than the other 6 levels, but is also (assumed to be) a [[EarthThatWas post-apocalyptic Earth.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1M7kJASyoQ The commercial for]] ''[[VideoGame/KirbysAdventure Nightmare in Dreamland]]'' has somebody singing a parody of "Secret Agent Man" with animation fresh from ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa''. Turns out that somebody is Ted Lewis, the voice of King Dedede and Escargoon in that anime. Since Ted sounds a bit like his Dedede voice in this ad, it can only be heard as Dedede singing his own [[TheVillainSucksSong villain sucks song]] about Kirby! Further supporting this theory, notice how, in the brief shot of Dedede, he's not moving his lips, and we don't hear Ted at that bit.

* The creation of most beings in dreamland is through one's heroic heart which is aptly shaped like a star, so what happens when you spit them back out? You are spitting the heart of your enemies or objects.
